8x14 greenhouse - anyone have one? (Or 8x18!)

Does anyone have an 8x14 greenhouse (or 8x18) and might be able to post photos of the inside - to help me figure out scale?

Soon to be moving house, and buying a new greenhouse once we're there. We don't have one where we are to measure against, and they're all starting to look the same from the product images... help!

Or if anyone uses theirs to grow in (tomatoes, chillies etc) as well as using it as a potting shed, using one long edge for seedlings, and to keep the chilli pots on.

Mine is an 8x10 but these pics hopefully give you an idea of what fits in this width.

I have an 8x14.

Most summers I have six large pots down one long length - chillies or tomatoes.

A slatted bench along the other side with seedlings on. Then under the bench six more large pots with cucumbers and courgettes.

I am just SO jealous!!😭😭

Thank you! This is helpful indeed @Anomalocaris

@MintJulia how do the pots under the bench get enough light? I've only ever grown cucumbers full height up bamboo canes so struggling to figure out dimensions

I put cucumber pots under the bench, leaving the top free to do all the potting up of seedlings. When the cucumbers start to grow tall, I run them up canes so the cucumber grow across the top of the bench.

I have an 8 x 12. I bought it primarily to be used as a summer house although will also grow some plants. Fits 4 summer chairs comfortably. Bought a blockley which has a higher roof and therefore feels more spacious. Very happy with the size.

Friends have a 10 x 12 with an apricot tree growing inside it. It's beautiful.
